 |
|
I have been trying to install the openoffice version that came on the gentoo cds for several days. It emerges fine when I try to run it I get:
| Code: | # ooffice
Aborted
#
# oodraw
Aborted
#
...
|
I saw a post addressing this yesterday and it suggested editing a file in my home directory. I attempted this but still get nowhere.
Does anyone know how to get this working? |

I don't know if it's what you want to hear, but why not just download the binary from OpenOffice.org and install it?
Not as "cool" as the Gentoo way, but from my experience, it works better.
I *did* emerge it from source once and it mostly worked, except that I never got it to configure Java correctly. The OOo download and the latest Sun SDK work great together. |

I had a similar problem a few weeks ago. In my case, it was a corrupted tt font.

So what did you do to correct this?
Unfortunately I am on a 56k connection and at the moment that is even messed up. That's one of the main reasons I got the cds instead of just downloading it. I was under the impression that the cds would contain more apps though. |

Well yeah. I guess what I was asking is how you found out which font is corrupted. |

Sorry, I couldn't resist
I used strace on oowriter to get a clue about what was going on.
After that, I found the corrupted font with kde's font installer.
Hth,
